I haven't read the article but reading the title, something comes to mind instantly - how Google saves billions of dollars by using a complicated structure to send most of its overseas profits to tax havens, keeping its overseas rate at a super-low 2.4 percent.

Ah! Found the article - The Tax Haven That's Saving Google Billions - http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_44/b42010431...

So, the government assumes Google India ought to be filing more tax instead of the meagre that goes into the Indian Treasury?

Speaking from experience, this kind of thing might - just - also be a clerical error. Not so long ago, a place I used to work for got one of these notices because the Tax Department didn't agree with how we had calculated tax. Accounts did manage to sort it out, in the end.
